I thought I was done with Christmas posts but JLSHall sent me the photos of the ornie I made her so I thought I would share them with you.

I have had the fabric that I used for the backing for quite some time -- kept thinking I would make some holiday placemats or something but never got around to it so when I finished the little Joy angel, I pulled this out knowing it would be perfect for this project.
I really enjoyed making these ornaments. I usually give the kids Hallmark ornaments so one day they will have some for their tree when they are grown but this year I decided to do more of a "do it yourself" sort of theme and these ornaments were part of it. Next year -- more cooking to go along with.
Tomorrow -- my, as usual, late addition to "A View from the Window". I tried to get the cat in the picture but apparently he/she doesn't want to visit on Thursday.

just gorgeous, I really must make more of an effort with my cross stitching...

Thank you! Sometimes it is a struggle -- I am the sort that has to be "in the mood" to do something and that is why I have so many unfinished projects -- I am easily distracted. However, since I got my new magnifying lamp I have been enjoying the cross stitching a lot more. I would love to see some of your stuff. I also have two quilts started -- a memory quilt for my son and a Union Jack for my son in law. I need to get busy with those as well -- hope the mood strikes soon!
Soooooo pretty...!
